I was lucky enough to be selected for a campaign through the Canadian Beauty Bloggers Network to review a few things from the THEFACESHOP Calming Seed Collection. I was sent 3 products to try out and see how they worked for my sensitive skin. THEFACESHOP is a Korean brand that has been around for over 10 years and is now available in Canada. Their mission is to create high quality skincare that’s still affordable.

When I hear that a brand is from Asia I have high expectations because let’s face it – Asian brands do skincare the best. They are always 5 years ahead of North American when it comes to the latest skincare trends (BB creams anyone?) I had never tried anything from this brand so I was really excited to see how they performed.

All the products from the line contain two main ingredients. First is Tamanu seed, which is a moisturizing ingredient and a natural protective agent for the skin. Second is Glycyrrhizin which is a botanical-based ingredient from Chinese liquorice extract that soothes irritated skin.

Calming Seed Mild Bubble Foam Cleanser ($15 CAD)

This cleanser is sort of a mix between a cream and a gel. It contains 95% natural ingredients including coconut oil and rose flower oil.

There is absolutely so scent that I can detect which is always a positive thing when you have sensitive skin. It’s easier to foam up in your hands first rather than trying to get a lather going on your face. I do find that I need to use a wash cloth to remove it because water alone isn’t enough to take it off, some residue will remain. You will need to use a makeup remover before this though, it is a cleanser not a makeup remover. My skin feels soft and moisturized afterward!

Calming Seed Soothing Cream ($34.00 CAD)

This super moisturizing cream is all about hydrating your skin without causing irritation. They say you can use it morning and evening but I found it to heavy for the morning. It will leave your skin looking a little oily but if you put it on a night it’s totally soaked in by morning and your skin looks dewy and soft! I didn’t love this product but it did what it claimed to do – moisturized my skin while being super gentle at the same time.

Calming Seed 1- Second Calming Mist Toner ($23 CAD)

I love this spray! I use it all the time. I use it in the morning before applying my makeup and at night before bed. I even use it after plucking my eyebrows. Anytime my skin was feeling irritated I just spritzed this on and it made my skin feel cool and soothed.

I’ve been using it for a few weeks and I haven’t even made a dent in it yet, so you get a lot of product for the price. It has a light scent that I can’t quite place but I like it. It’s sort of earthy smelling but it’s very subtle.

Overall I liked these products and the 1-Second Mist Toner was my favourite by far. Have you ever tried anything from THEFACESHOP? Let me know in the comments!
